Well, it looks like it's that time again, guys. Time for what, you ask? For one of the biggest beer festivals in North America to bless Montreal with its presence for yet another glorious year! The 26th edition of the Mondial de la Bière is happening this spring from May 22-25, and trust, it's going to be a whole lot of beer-tasting fun. If past celebrations are anything to go by, we're expecting nothing short of EPIC from this awesome festival!

As mentioned above, instead of being held in June, it's happening earlier from May 22-25. Also, Mondial de la Bière is being held at Montreal's Windsor Station. This venue is right in the heart of downtown Montreal, and it's super easy to access from Lucien L'Allier, Bonaventure and Peel metro. Plus, let's be real, Windsor Station is a super beautiful space to hold any event, especially an amazing beer-tasting extravaganza!

This year, there'll be over 80 participating breweries, including local Montreal microbreweries like Harricana, Le Saint-Bock, Dieu du ciel, and 4 Origines, plus many other well-loved brands. Of course, if you also like to savour different treats with a nice, fresh brew, Mondial de la Bière's got your back there, too. They'll be featuring cidres, distilleries, and kombucha stations, as well as tasty food stations like Rubs American BBQ, James Bun Burger, and more!
